Though Andrea did say it is a "single threaded" streaming read.
That is what I can't understand. Movement of the disk head should
be exactly the same in either situation and 128K is not exactly
a pitiful request size - so it suggests a quirk somewhere. It
is not as if the disk has to be particularly smart or know a
lot about the data in order to optimise the head movement for
a load like this.
